I'm editing this because Steve begged me to enter the RBBO. (ok, maybe that's a lie) So... here I am with a project I just started last week. I've never entered an RBBO since I work, almost exclusively, on muscle bikes. But I did have a grand muscle bike project in mind. @GuitarlCarl challenged me a while back to not just do a restoration, but to just go all out on something, so I am. The problem is... this project I have in mind is going to take a fair bit of funds. I was going to sell a couple restorations to fund it, but I got behind. This is one of those projects. So, now I'm aiming for the MBBO in October.
Anyway, this isn't anything special, but it's a resto-mod, vice a straight restoration, so why not throw it in the RBBO. This bike came as part of a package deal. Incomplete, so I needed some parts. I prefer the look of a 5-speed muscle bike, so... since I had to get parts anyway... might as well modify it.
This is what it WOULD have looked like. The bike was in pieces, so I never took a "before" photo.
